There are millions of Epstein files still classified.

Why do you think that is?

I have no idea. I haven't kept up with that.

I've never met the man, I don't know him. You

haven't kept up with the Epstein disclosures?

I mean, only from a distance. I'm 6,000 miles

away from DC these days, and I'm... pretty sure

that there's so much going on... - The current

President of Israel, current President, who

I know you know, President Herzog... - Know

him very well. - apparently was at Pedo Island.

That's what it says in the disclosures. And

of course, we know that the former Prime Minister,

Ehud Barak, was living on and off at Epstein's

house. So still living, high-level Israeli officials

are directly implicated... in Epstein's life,

if not his crimes. So I would think that you'd

be following this. Only... I was not aware that

there was any connection with President Herzog.

I would be surprised to hear that. I knew there

was about the former Prime Minister, who apparently

had a lot of... - dealings with Epstein. - Business

dealings. And by the way, I'm not alleging anything,

but I mean it's... yes, in the Epstein files,

and I don't know that I've heard the current

President of Israel respond to it, but he is

listed as a visitor to Pedo Island, so that's

kind of a big deal. I wonder, considering there

are so many suggestions in the files, as I'm

sure you know, of sexual abuse, and given that

Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender,

I wonder why the administration you work for

would be holding millions of files, which I

believe belong to the public, hidden for quote

"national security reasons." What would those

national security reasons be, do you think?

Honestly, I think you've probably got more access

to the White House sometimes than I do. You

should ask them. Well, you're... but you're

the government official representing that White

House. In Israel. And I represent the US in

Israel to the Israeli government, from the US

government. But honestly, nobody has presented

that to us. We have a pretty dynamic situation

here. I don't know if you know that or not,

but there's a lot going on in this part of the

world, and frankly, that has not been a top-line

item. But you're surprised to hear that the

current President of Israel, whom you know,

is listed as a visitor to Pedo Island. Had never

heard that. Never heard of it even in the Israeli

press. Are you going to ask him next time you

see him?

I'll be happy to. Talk to him almost every week.

I guess...
